Our latest stop-motion short film is a personal homage dedicated to writer and artist Mervyn Peake, on the occasion of his Centenary year. He's such a great inspiration for us, that we wanted to translate his drawings into animated puppets.
Verses and character are from the poem "Aunts and Uncles" (A Book of Nonsense).
Many thanks to the Mervyn Peake Estate, in the person of his late son Sebastian, for the kind concession of the original material.
The film has been realized in just 3 weeks of holidays with no budget.

This is a short film commissioned by ProLoco of Borgo a Mozzano (Lucca). It's based on local folktales full of deals with the Devil, and the building of the Devil's Bridge, symbol of this Tuscan village where we come from.

This is a promo commissioned for "Tecknos 09" the annual Fair of Technology in La Spezia.
It's a kind of old style radio-news about a dangerous contagion, coming from two mysterious devices arrived from the future.

"La Reliquia Rivoltosa" (The Relic's Revolt) is my graduation short film at National Film School in Torino. It's a mixture of traditional hand-drawn animation and cut-out.
It's an anarchic fairytale about Holyness, Superstitions, Hunger, Greed, Ancient Fears and Overwhelming vitality!
On the project I was Director, Script Writer, Puppet maker, Art Director and Animator.
You can watch the trailer above and the full film below:

"Drammi di Mezzanotte"(Midnight Tragedies) is a stop-motion miniserie, and it's our very first attempt to do something with clay animation.
It is composed by 3 episodes in which the quiet life of a couple of TV-addicted bugs is interrupted by supernatural events.
